Calculus Help Session (Chapter 5 Test) on Wednesday, October 2nd

As requested, I will have a Help Session on Wednesday Morning (October 2nd) before the Chapter 5 Test beginning at 7:15 am.  I will work on how I will have the doors unlocked at that time.  I will post again on Tuesday, with an update.

Please bring your questions. I will do what you want, but I don’t plan on creating anything for the Help Session…..Nor will answer the question “Is this on the test?”  If we did it….it could be!

 Have a great weekend!!!!

A question can upon the Implicit Differentiation homework Section 4.2 #21

The question was to find the lines tangent and normal to the given curve at the point (-1,0). You need to differentiate implicitly and then solve for y’ (aka dy/dx).  The top image is the solutions manual version and the bottom image is my solution.  Both yield the same result, but the first uses dy/dx notation whereas I used y’.  Sometimes the notation makes it very confusing!  I get it.

2019 Calculus Boot Camp Starts TOMORROW – Monday!

Small arms training

‘Hi Mom, Boot camp is fine, but I think our drill sergeant is hard of hearing. Every time we say something, he yells ‘I can’t hear you.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi All-

I looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow! Please bring your school ID as I will be checking out books tomorrow night…..

Homework:  Yes there is homework for the next 3 days, but you choose what you need practice on and what you don’t.  This will change when school actually starts.  All you need tomorrow is a working brain and something to write with, I will have a packet for you!  If you are unsure about the working brain thing, you have about 24 hours to find it and make it work again!

I have subscribed you all to the course calendar (google) and it should now appear in your calendar.  It is also viewable on my website at:  https://danjonesmathematics.net/bc-calculus-calendar/

I also have Purple and Gold Google calendars (that are used by more than 100 staff at RMHS), if you would like to be added please shoot me an email at dan.jones@d214.org

2019 AP Calculus Exam is Tomorrow! You will be Awesome!

You all have worked so very hard and learned so much this year – I am truly proud of all of you!  I know you will all do your best tomorrow and you will put in your best efforts, just like you have all year – why would tomorrow be any different?  You are as prepared as you are going to be!

Make each part or each question a celebration.  Start with an empty glass and fill it up! – don’t think about what you might have missed, celebrate what you know, and fill up the glass to overflowing.  Your glass is your goal. I believe that all of you can and will reach the goal that you have set.

The quote above is from Dr. Suess’ “Oh the Places You Will Go!” – one of my favorite books!  For the full reading of the book approx 6 min, the video is below.

I will stop down just before the exam!  The best of luck to all of you!

HERE is a link to the notes from Today if you were absent!  Please Read

Have a great weekend!

Chapter 9 Tests are posted…..bring 10.1 HW tomorrow

Chapter 9 Tests are posted…..bring 10.1 HW tomorrow.  Since last weekend was a (cough, cough) no homework weekend (you got enough of them with the snow days!), I will count the 1st 10.1  as extra credit.

So  you must have completed the assignment from 2/19/2019  to get the extra credit for the 2/14/2019 assignment.  See below.
